Discover Ghent with an escape game

A escape game in Ghent is a very lively way to explore the city on foot, following a story with clues in hand, from the Korenmarkt to the quays of the Graslei. With Coddy, players move from street to street, observe the facades, solve riddles, and let the city set the pace of the game. You’re not just a spectator: you read Ghent as you walk—through its canals, its bridges, and its backstreets, where the atmosphere changes at every turn.

A city that lends itself naturally to the game
Ghent has a rare blend of medieval stone, guild houses, Flemish gables, and more contemporary volumes that makes every detour worthwhile. Around the Castle of the Counts, history feels raw, almost theatrical; near the Patershol, the narrow lanes invite you to slow down; toward the banks of the Lys and the Lieve, the light on the water adds a very gentle breath. Even the livelier neighborhoods keep a true sense of character, with bikes everywhere, tightly packed terraces, and that student energy that gives the city a constant momentum. It’s precisely this contrast that makes an escape game in Ghent a walk full of character—far richer than a simple sightseeing route. An outdoor escape game there has a natural, precise setting that’s never monotonous.

For whom, and how it works
The activity is suitable for families, groups of friends, couples, and tourists who want to discover Ghent in a different way, without scheduling constraints. All you need is a smartphone and the Coddy app: you play whenever you want, with no prior booking, advancing at your own pace. It’s ideal for a free afternoon, a weekend on site, or an impromptu visit. The format also appeals to people who enjoy treasure hunts and urban discovery games, because it keeps the fun of observation while giving the stroll a real direction.
